If that's true, I would buy a subsidized N8 variant, just hoping it doesn't get water down..but if it goes under $450 here in the US, I would buy one unlocked and not get in contract with AT&T.
I think Nokia would do good if it did get into AT&T with all the customers here in the US. Verizon seems to be doing the same with Motorola, Sprint and TMO I'm not a fan of.
I'm hoping to get an N8 by October, but if it did come with a Meego N9 by the holiday, I guess I can hold on to my X6 a bit longer ...can't wait for Nokia World to hear the announcements
If Nokia wants to break into the US market I think its smart of them to get a huge carrier subsidy to get their name out their to the "main stream" market. People here at HoFo are just a handful compare to people who buy subsidy phones and they don't understand the reason for buying an Unlocked phone.
